The 11th Hour -Leonardo DiCaprio pushes the good green message in this high profile docDeath at a Funeral -A comedy from Frank Oz. Yes, that Frank Oz. The voice of Miss Piggy and the man behind comedies of incredibly varying quality from 80s gems like The Little Shop of Horrors through misfires like the recent Stepford Wives reimaginingDelirious -from indie filmmaker Tom DiCillo (Johnny Suede, Living in Oblivion) starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Alison Lohman and eternally freakishly sexy Gina GershonThe King of Kong -A sponsor this week on the sidebar (thank you!) I tried to see this videogame documentary when I was at IIFF but the print didn't arrive and they replaced it with a terrible movie about Star Wars geeks. I had to walk out

The Invasion -Nicole Kidman + Daniel Craig + time tested always successful metaphorical horror plot. What could go wrong? RT scores (currently @ 18% ouch) suggest something did but I'll see for myself on account of my love for NK & DC. Plus: We kinda have to see this to compare the duet to round two when the stars reunite for The Golden Compass in DecemberLast Legion -I always find it baffling when a movie I've never heard of opens wide. It's from the Weinstein Co. So maybe it's 4 years old or something... [/snark]Superbad -The Year of Judd Apatow And His Travelling Band of Merry Actors and Writers™ continues. Expect this one (produced by Apatow) to continue the critical and audience lovefest that's been going full force since The 40 Year Old Virgin. Now if only the public had been there for Freaks and Geeks back in the day. It's still the best thing Apatow's been involved in
